Sarah & Tanna's "Must Haves" for Summer!

About this episode

Sarah and Tanna share their favorite summer activities and emphasize the importance of presence and enjoying simple moments.

Training for Life | Favourite Summer Things Sarah and Tanna are back with a summer edition of their most-loved episode. No sponsored lists, just two real women sharing the simple things that light them up when the sun shows up. Sarah's picks: standup paddle boarding on the ocean, a blanket in the vehicle for spontaneous sunsets, a bucket list of hikes with people she loves, and the occasional intentional rosé on a patio. Tanna's picks: self-tanner from Meg at Glow Coast, her beloved harem jumper (aka the hippie suit), motorcycle season on her hand-built chopper, a swimming hole bucket list for her kids, and tending her little deck garden...mostly for the joy of watching things grow. The real theme? None of it is about stuff. It's about presence, slowing down, and saying yes to a moment. What's on your summer list? Drop it in the comments ~ there might be a Part Two. Mentioned: Glow Coast (Meg), Clean Food Crush recipes, Heart Lake Vancouver Island.
